I bought a cheapo bike holder from eBay. It came in two parts, the bike attachment and the pda holder.
Fired it on my bike, its seemed sturdy enough and went for a cycle. It didn't even last 30 seconds before the pda mount part flew off the bike and crashed to the ground(hahaha). I thought "nightmare" my PDA is surely done for with an impact like that, but its fine albeit slightly scratched on the case.
lucky escape i think, i was going to work on gluing the parts together and adding velcro to the pda lpus mount.
Looking at the holder though, i could do all this and the bike attachement might still snap at any time so whats the
point!
Don't be in any doubt, you need to get a robust solution - there is far too much vibration through the handbars for a flimsy mount to cope with. I think i will build my own mount, then at least i can trust it.
I've been using one from Arkon to hold my Blackjack II. It has rubber pads on the sides to grip the phone tightly - no moving about in the holder for my phone yet.

I bought the otterbox second hand in a watersport shop. In holland where i live you can buy them online. Try contact Otterbox.com where you can buy them in your regio. The Richter stuf I bought online. http://www.gpsplaza.nl/nl/webshop/product/400003677.html You need another part as well and make this on the box.
OK, for my loox N500 I used a Otterbox with a Richter mount for the bike. More expensive then Boxit but worked fine. I have made a little hole in de rubber for the headset wire. Now I own a HTC diamond i want to buy a boxit because then I wont need a headset.
Hello Bosti,
I think you beter use something like the Boxit 5 (www.boxit.net) Has a special bike mount as well. This is waterproof en you can still hear our girlfriend while running or biking.
